“Being a mountain bike enthusiast, Stacey empathized with my frustrations in my inability to ride without pain. Over several months I regained my ability to ride both on the road and on my mountain bike. And I am very thankful for the understanding, support, and excellent service I received at Thrive and would certainly return if the need arises.”

- Bob D.

“When I had to begin therapy for my ankle after surgery Stacey provided the encouragement, therapy and home program to get me back on both feet and back to doing the things I love: cross country skiing, hiking and biking. I appreciated Stacey’s easy manner and sense of humor. She pushed me just enough to be determined to do my home program.”

- Paula D.

“I was very lucky to have Stacey as my PT with her good-humored guidance and encouragement at every visit. Stacey, with her patient yet firm style, truly was a huge factor in my rotator cuff surgery recovery. Thank you to Thrive and Stacey for helping me to thrive and continue to enjoy my favorite sports and activities!”
